Dimethylformamide → 2-(2-furyl)-4-({2-methoxy-4-[({1-phenyl-5-[(E)-2-(1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethenyl]-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]phenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazole

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[(4-{[2-(2-furyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]methoxy}-3-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carbaldehyde (1.00 g), [(1,3-thiazol-4-yl)methyl]triphenylphosphonium chloride (1.27 g), potassium carbonate (0.44 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 15 hrs. Water was poured into the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1, v/v) to give 2-(2-furyl)-4-({2-methoxy-4-[({1-phenyl-5-[(E)-2-(1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethenyl]-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]phenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazole as colorless crystals (0.77 g, yield 78%). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 154-155° C.
